My favourite madrigal: Thomas Morley's "Phyllis, I fain would die now"

Was it Han-Na Chang?


yes, spot on, she's the one, i'm lousy in remembering these korean names,
lol, now that i watched that again, i remember that Contra-Bass guy made it for me, aside from the Cielist, it's good performance and it is scripted fun, the horns are the only ones i don't much like or maybe because it's a minimal sound compared to the strings, but overall its good,

would like to add here, it's from a video game - Chrono Cross - Scars of Time,

the Guitar overvolumed the Flute, or the flute should have played louder, it has a nice Celtic tone that i like, mix of Orchestra w/ Guitar and Percussions! sweet!
i never get tired listening to this, this is the video game version,

It's not who I am underneath.. but what i do that defines me - Batman, Batman Begins; 'Without our deaths, sir, there would be no crime. Thus, no punishment to match,' 'Mortal Sword - '
'We are done, my friend. Now, in this manner, we choose the meaning of our deaths' - Mortal Sword Brukhalian to Veteran Nilbanas, siege of Capustan

Probably my FAVE Bach piece EVER is the Concerto in D Minor for two violins, as performed below by Julia Fischer who simply BREATHES Bach, she is incredible. Though this is the 1st movement, and I prefer the 3rd I couldn't' find video of her doing it. Still, the beginning is amazing as well.




The BBC Radio 3 Programme CD Review has a weekly feature called 'Building a Library', where it reviews all the available recordings of a particular piece and chooses the 'best' one (for various values of best, depending on the reviewers tastes, prejudices, and other factors). Even if you don't agree with the final choice, it's always useful to listen to the range of different interpretations available as a guide to making your own selection.

And this week's programme, available now as a podcast, was on the Bach Double Violin concerto: http://www.bbc.co.uk...asts/series/bal.

HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

Seeing as how y'all are officianados of classical music, can any of you expian how John Willams managed to win multiple grammy's, golde globes, bafta, and oscars for essentially rearranging Holst' work? That's bothered me ever since I first discovered Holst.

Are any of you infected with the audiophile bug?

Well, they say talent borrows, genius steals. I don't really mind the similarities in Williams's scores to Holst (or to Korngold, for that matter).

Also, awards are meaningless. The Black Eyed Peas have multiple grammy's.

I took Sarah to see Bruckner's 8 symphony this week-end. I've heard it played before at a better concert house, but there was somethign eerily personal about this performance and we both felt a little short of breath as the music ended.

There's something about Bruckner that appeals to me in a weird fashion. I feel his music to be less of a story and more a series of emotions and images in a strangely fitting sequence. If that makes any sense, I've been trying to formulate it for some time with no discernable success.
